x86: Do not raises floating-point exception traps on fesetexceptflag (BZ 30990)
According to ISO C23 (7.6.4.4), fesetexcept is supposed to set floating-point exception flags without raising a trap (unlike feraiseexcept, which is supposed to raise a trap if feenableexcept was called with the appropriate argument). The flags can be set in the 387 unit or in the SSE unit. When we need to clear a flag, we need to do so in both units, due to the way fetestexcept is implemented. When we need to set a flag, it is sufficient to do it in the SSE unit, because that is guaranteed to not trap. However, on i386 CPUs that have only a 387 unit, set the flags in the 387, as long as this cannot trap. Co-authored-by:Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org> Reviewed-by:
